Fred the fairy works at a Wish-Granting Plant - and when he's finally given his very first wish to grant, he wants to get it right! Josh only has one wish. He's been invited to a princess party . . . and he needs a dress to wear! With time ticking and the party approaching, it's up to Fred to conjure up the PERFECT outfit, and make sure that Josh is the very best-dressed princess.
